Asma al-Assad, Wife of Deposed Syrian Leader, Gravely Ill with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Isolated Moscow
Dec 25, 2024, 07:05 PM
Asma al-Assad, the wife of deposed Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, is gravely ill with acute myeloid leukemia in Moscow, where she is isolated and has been given a 50% chance of survival, according to reports from The Daily Telegraph. The leukemia, diagnosed in May, has returned after a period of remission. Asma, a British-Syrian who was previously treated for breast cancer, is being kept away from others to prevent infection. Her father, Harley Street cardiologist Fawaz Akhras, has been caring for her in Moscow, where the Assad family sought asylum following the fall of the Syrian regime after 13 years of civil war. Recent rumors suggested that Asma wanted to return to London for treatment and to divorce her husband, claims that the Kremlin has denied. UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy has stated that Asma is not welcome in the UK, confirming her status as a sanctioned individual.
